Elves

Celebrían – “Silver Maiden”, wife of Elrond and mother to Arwen, Elrohir, and Elladan. She was the daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn and was born sometime in the Second Age in Eregion (Hollin), a Noldorin realm near Moria that was founded by her parents. During the Second Age, she visited Imladris (Rivendell) with her parents and it was then that Elrond first saw Celebrían and loved her. She and Elrond were married in 109 Third Age. The twins Elrohir and Elladan were born in 130 TA and Arwen in 241. In 2509 TA, Celebrían was traveling to Lórien when she was attacked in the Redhorn Pass in the Misty Mountains by Orcs and was seized and carried off. Her sons rescued her but she had received a poisonous wound. Elrond healed her but she lost all delight of Middle-earth and the next year she went to the Grey Havens and passed over Sea. After the One Ring was destroyed, Elrond departed from Middle-earth and upon the shores of Alqualondë in Valinor, he and Celebrían were reunited after 500 years.
